Cheers to the freakin' weekend!!

First let me apologize for my absence this week. Work got in the way. Ugh. I don't have any nutritional advice for you today, but since it's Friday, I figured it didn't matter. If you are trying to get pumped for the weekend, turn your speakers on max and rock out to this song RIGHT NOW! It's my favorite!!


Oh, if you're needing a crock pot recipe for your tailgate Saturday, here you go! Delicious! (from Hungry Girl)

  1. I am always looking for new dips or to use as a spread in fajitas. Might try this but substitute lean ground beef! Love the music, have a great weekend.
